It's a very strange thing, seeing this Ipswich Ripper coverage on TV. They're showing CCTV and talking head footage of an area I'm extremely familiar with, not mucky reader because it's the red light district, but because my mum lives about three streets away. Yet I don't recognise the town centre district as they're showing it... maybe a camera angles thing.... and the Crown Court building means nothing at all to me. I suspect they've built a new courthouse since I was there last; I've been to the old one on business before but it was a thousand years ago now. I wonder what they're using the building for now, it's attached to the cop shop so it's not as if they can knock it down. Suppose they've probably moved the Magistrates court from across the road. Strange though, that mix of the crushingly familiar and the un-nervingly unknown.
